the official trailer of "Girl Rising"
In a world where education is not received by everyone, where some people would do anything to become educated, I find that am reflecting more and more on what I have been so blessed to have all throughout my life- education.
I am so grateful for the many opportunities I have had to go to school and to learn.
I think its pretty easy to take that for granted in our lives.
at times i complain about going to school, when all I should be, is completely grateful that I am able to be enrolled at a University.
That I have been able to attend school since age four!
Its amazing.
But because of the many who do not have this opportunity, a group of us in the Modern Dance Department are raising awareness for girls around the world who do not yet have the ability to receive an education.
We are performing an improv score around campus throughout this week, and we are also screening the film "Girl Rising" tomorrow night at the Social and Behavioral Sciences building on the University of Utah Campus.
These young girls want nothing more than to go to school and to become educated. I am so inspired by them and their dedication and commitment. I am also so thankful for my education.
take a moment to reflect upon your education and what it means to you.
where has it brought you? how has it influenced your life?
